Great Seafood in Raleigh Since 1991, Plain and Simple

NC Seafood Restarant

Years ago N.C. Seafood Restaurant was a treasured secret, but it didn’t take long before word of mouth spread.

“That if you were looking for simply the best seafood in town at a fair price – you were going to N.C. Seafood Restaurant in Raleigh at the North Carolina Farmers Market”.

Many people returning from the coast will say:

“they go to the beach for the ocean and sun and stop by N.C Seafood Restaurant in Raleigh on their way home for their seafood”.

NC Seafood Restaurant opened in 1991 and has been under the same ownership for the past 30 years.

A lot has changed over the past 30 years. Many of our employee’s children are now employees and many of our customer’s children are now bringing their children in for their favorite N.C Seafood classic. But what hasn’t changed is the dedication to our constitution at the NC Seafood Restaurant. We strive to stay true to our roots, whether that be our recipes, quality, or our dedication to customer service. Most of our regular customers know us by name and it won’t take us long to learn yours.

So…if you are out and about and want to see the best Farmers Market in the South East come on by. And when you are out looking at those beautiful tomatoes from a local farmer or maybe watermelons or some other delicious North Carolina produce – we encourage you to follow that wonderful smell in the air that gets caught in the wind and blows in your direction.

It begins every day at 11:00 am. What is that wonderful smell? It is the smell of some of the best calabash style seafood. So as you look across the market and see people headed to the NC Seafood Restaurant or sitting outside on our picnic tables and enjoying a shrimp burger, Calabash combination platter, or a basket of our homemade hush puppies, you will come join us.

We would like to make your family a part of ours for the next 30 years.
